I just tried installing gdiplus using winetricks, on a debian testing system.
This failed, as winetricks tried to copy stuff into windows/system32, where I happen to have Windows/System32.
I first tried making symlinks windows->Windows and system32->System32. winetricks would run, but the app using gdiplus.dll now failed to find it. The file was in Windows/System32 as expected.
So I removed my links, and used search&replace on winetricks, to replace all occurences of "windows" and "system32" with captialized versions. Then I ran winetricks again. The installation succeeded this time too, but the app could still not find the dll in System32.
I finally gave up and copied the dll into the directory where the app is installed. This worked, but is problematic; it will have to be done for every app that uses this dll.
Why did you rename system32? Are you linking your ~/.wine/drive_c to a real windows installation?
